R.I.P. Malcolm Smith 1942 – 2023

It is with much sadness we advise the death of Malcolm Smith. Malcolm was one of of the star bowlers of the Courtaulds Bocking Factory Club. A county player who won many accolades for both lawn bowls and indoor bowls, and took part in many county and national competitions. When he was no longer able to play bowls he took up petanque, although he remained keen on bowls watching many matches . He was always very helpful to new bowlers with encouragement and constructive advice. In latter years he came to the social events at the club and took part in our club nights playing crib. His knowledge of the history of the club and his jovial banter will be very sadly missed.
